    Cal flo liquid limestone

    By Jody on 10/08/2017

    Easy to use spray. Kinda thick. We had no problem spraying this, using a 60 gallon boom sprayer with 7 spray nozzle. At first we fill the sprayer half full, pour half the liquid into a 5 gallon bucket, then used a drill with paint mixer to mix it, then added it to the boom sprayer. Finish filling it up with water. It sprayed fine. But the cal flo is not extremely thick as some has indicated, so next batch we fill the boom sprayer up with 1/4 full of water, then as I was pouring cal flo into sprayer, wife was using water hose with sprayer nozzle, spraying water into tank. This mix the cal flo as it enter the tank, and we finished filling the tank using the water hose nozzle on high pressure setting. Sprayed the fields. I order 11 containers of cal flo. My fields needed liming bad. It cost about 600.00, free shipping by freight truck. I put 2-2.5 gallons of cal flo to 60 gallons of water. Sprayed 5 gallons of mixture per acre. Just use the water hose to clean the sprayer, and sprayed the excess water out of the sprayer. Easy clean up. I also sprayed my yard and garden place. I had a hard time finding a place that would spread lime. It was either too wet, or they didn't have it. Been on waiting list 2 years. I read about this liquid cal flo, and now my fields have been lime. Now to see it do its job. Will test ph in a few weeks, as recommended. I bought enough to do my fields twice.

    We liked it

    By Themodernpredator on 05/24/2016

    We used this in our Northstar 30 gal sprayer. It was easy to use and the instructions were clear. We could tell where we sprayed it after it dried because it turned the ground a light shade of white. Be careful how much you use each batch. According to our math, we needed 3 dilutions in 30 gallons of water to spray an entire 2.5 gallons. We didn't get the measurements exact and they last spray was a little tough. THIS IS VERY THICK! Our sprayer had a hard time getting started on our third spray. Make sure it is as mixed up as possible before you start your sprayer!

    Needs Agitation

    By Mpointer on 04/03/2017

    Works great for me! Definitely cheaper and easier to go with this product than the traditional way. One thing is for sure, you need to agitate while you spray or spend some time mixing before you apply. Or, have an agitation system built into your sprayer to accomplish it. I have a 25 gallon, County Line sprayer. For my yard, I mixed 8 gallons (2 cups p/gallon) and I used my drill and a 15 inch stirrer bit to mix the solution in. About 1/5 of the Lime settled at the end of the spray application.

    great for quick results

    By Adison on 09/28/2016

    This product works if you need quick adjustment for PH. However, if maintaining or subtle adjustment needed i would not recommend the spray route. This stuff is super thick and did require some work to clean out of my Earthway push sprayer.

    Great product

    By Clifford on 05/24/2018

    I used this on my food plots. It made a world of difference to get the pH up. I will continue to use this.

    Performs well if you keep it in suspension

    By Bob on 06/14/2019

    I used 2.5 gallons to 50 gallons of water in a tow-behind boom sprayer. I do not have an agitator in the tank so it was challenging to keep it from settling and clogging the filters. Once I figured out how to keep it mixed (by sloshing it around by accelerating & braking), it dispensed fine. Product itself performs as advertised.

    *****CAL FLO*****

    By Mel on 06/15/2018

    Easier than 30 each 40 pound bags of lime and quicker to be activated. It'worth buying a 15 gal. sprayer to pull behind your lawn mower. Applied 2 and 1 half times on my 1 acre lot with this one container. SWEET SOIL HAPPY GRASS!

    Wanted a quick lift in PH liquid was the way to go

    By James on 10/05/2020

    I'm giving this product 5 stars because It was exactly what I was looking for and it did not provide any disappointment. However I won't be testing the soil until next year I won't know how it helped. The goal was to lift PH a full point and soil test came in at 5.5. With the application rate suggested I should be at 6.5 now. The good thing with this product is the shelf life is good and can last you a long time. I live in New England and we have acidic soil here naturally. So I'll find my self using this for awhile I'm sure. I was going to use a backpack sprayer to apply this instead I got impatient and figured out how to apply this product with a hose end sprayer and it went perfect.

    Works well when diluted enough.

    By Bob on 09/17/2021

    The performance of this product was as expected. It is a pretty thick suspension of calcium particles in water, so I diluted the 2.5 gallons into 100 gallons of water and kept the circulator pump running to keep it in suspension in my tank sprayer. I also used 0.4 GPM spray nozzles and removed all of the strainer/filters due to the fact that it's a suspension and clogs up the screens. I noticed the moss around the tree line of my property dying after the first application. After 4 applications, the moss is gone and it's all grass.

    Wasted money

    By Edward on 03/21/2021

    Bought 2 of these to lime my 2 acre pasture. My containers were not sealed under the lid. The lime solution didn't look right to me. Looked diluted. Poured in my sprayer, noticed lime was very watery. After pouring all there was no lime settlement at the bottom of the 2.5 gal. Jug. Sprayed one jug on one acre. Could not tell the pasture was sprayed with lime. Used 40 gal. Water. Wont buy again

    Product was correct, Free shipping took to long to "process"

    By Jeff on 05/24/2020

    I expected my product to be shipped in a day or so took over a week and a half for "order processing. I was told it was because I chose the free shipping. MIssed good weather for applying my product. had I known it was going to take so long i would have purchased elsewhere.

    cal flo

    By Benson on 05/01/2020

    Just started using cal flo after another liquid lime company quit making it. So far cal flo mixes like the other and goes through the bloom less sprayer with no problem. Shall not know effectiveness until after first cutting hay is done.

    Need appropriate sprayer

    By Wayne on 04/17/2020

    This is a nice product but I had a couple of issues. Some containers leaked during transit so I lost some product there. Also agitation in the tank is important. My tank is not agitated or recirculated so I had quite a bit of settling of the slurry during the application. I tried a paint mixer during the mixing process but it took a long time to spray out so I lost some to settling. It was hard to resuspend it to try spraying it again. Otherwise it had little issues with clogging of the jets, but may try a larger sprayer jet in the future. Not sure how it works yet on the field yet.

    Great stuff

    By John on 11/03/2020

    This liquid is thick but can be used in a spray tank if premixed. I put the recommended amount to the gallon in a 5 gallon bucket and stirred it well with a paint mixer on a drill. Pour it into my 25 gallon tank after I fill it halfway with water. I sprayed my food plots with this before I disk the soil lightly. The results were great. I did soil test before hand to know how much fertilizer I needed also. This product save me a ton of money in ag lime or pelletized lime. Fields were 12ins high in less than 30 days and only got rain twice. Great product will be using it in the future.

    By Jason on 09/08/2023

    Verified Purchase

    I applied 5 gallons to 35,000 sq. ft. to raise my pH from 5.8 to 7.0. This is much better than ordering a pallet of limestone!

    Waiting on results.

    By Lewis on 03/18/2022

    Went down very easy with my 4gal sprayer. Put it down just before a light rain and it went to soil quickly. Will have to wait a while to see results. I'll get back to you with the numbers. Moneywise it's a much better investment than pellets.
